You should first take your son to a paediatrician whose diagnosis might be more accurate and efficient because your son also suffers from asthma. Besides, the pediatrician can refer a pulmonologist in you have to. The patient shouldn't take drugs on his own, but should only use medications prescribed by a doctor.

I took 50 pills ( vitamin C and zinc tablets) at once nothing happened I'm I in danger
Female | 25
Taking 50 pills of vitamin C and zinc all at once can be dangerous! It may induce tummy pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Too much zinc in your body can also be bad for you. Don't waste any time. Seek medical assistance without hesitation. Water drinking may be useful in getting rid of leftover vitamins and minerals. Your body needs time for healing.

I took drotin and I am having dizziness since 3 days .. what to do ?
Female | 33
There are various reasons for dizziness, but medication side effects, dehydration, or low blood pressure can be some of the causes of it. Always keep well hydrated, and ensure enough rest is provided. As such, it is important to keep a close eye on your symptoms and not move around quickly. Should you be still feeling under the weather after 3 days or you should bother yourself with other signs of fainting or nausea, I would say that the best thing you can do is seek proper medical care. Suffice it to say they will be able to examine your problem and will make correct suggestions.

Male | 21
It’s great that you’re considering a yellow fever vaccination, as it’s essential for travel to certain areas. Symptoms of yellow fever can include fever, chills, loss of appetite, and muscle pain. This virus spreads through infected mosquitoes. Getting vaccinated is a highly effective way to protect yourself. I recommend visiting a healthcare provider or travel clinic to receive the vaccine and obtain your yellow card certification. They can also address any questions you may have, ensuring you feel confident and informed.

The doctor prescribed me a medicine (megapin) of 500mg but the megapin I got has a label 250/250 mg does that mean the medicine is total 500mg?
Male | 60
When medicine labels show 250/250 mg, it means there are two ingredients, each with 250 mg. One tablet contains 500 mg (250 + 250 = 500 mg). You're getting the correct dose your doctor prescribed. Follow the instructions for how many tablets to take.

Getting a TT injection means you should avoid alcohol for 24 hours. Consuming alcohol immediately after could lead to increased soreness where you received the injection. It may also reduce how effective the vaccine is.

Hello sir,i want to know before 3 months a dog bite me and i take 3 injections and doesn't take 2 more injections,and after 3 months a new dog bite me what I do please suggest me
Male | 26
Dogs have the potential of infecting you if they bite. Bitten twice by dogs is a matter of concern. When you miss some injections, this could indicate that you are not fully protected. Infections may cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, warmth, and pain in the bite area. You must visit your doctor to get a proper evaluation and treatment, which may include additional vaccinations to avert complications.

You might be feeling like something is stuck in your throat. This sensation could be due to irritation from food or drinks, stress-related factors, throat infections, reflux, or other causes.

I am 25 years old I am suffering from fever from last 22 days. I have done with many tests. But I don't understand why my test is not going.
Female | 25
A fever that does not go away for at least three weeks can hint at the existence of an internal infection, an autoimmune disorder, or some other health issues. Fatigue and muscle pain, for instance, may accompany it, and proper testing is indeed required to find the root of the symptoms. It's important to keep reporting your syndrome to those doctors who are looking after you; hence, further scrutiny may be called for. You should think about writing down the symptoms and your previous test results and take them to your next visit to discuss with your doctor.

Aapke partner ki health ke liye kuch symptoms, jaise fatigue, weight loss, ya persistent pain, important indicators ho sakte hain. Inki wajah lifestyle, stress, ya kisi underlying condition se ho sakti hai. Aapko sabse pehle unki daily habits, jaise khana aur exercise, par dhyan dena chahiye. Achi diet aur regular physical activity unki physical well-being ko enhance kar sakti hai. Agar symptoms zyada serious ho rahe hain, toh bina kisi der ke doctor se consult karna bahut zaroori hai, taaki sahi diagnosis aur treatment mil sake.
